MCGONAGALL’S CHRONICLES By Gary McNair TUE 3 – SAT 7 APR, 1PM; FRI 6 APR, 7PM A biography of the late Dundonian poet Sir William Topaz McGonagall, written in ‘almost rhyming verse’ - the only way to honour the man who has come to be known as the world’s worst poet. Performed by Gary McNair, the play charts the poet’s life story and gets to the heart of the dilemma that surrounds his legend - is it okay to laugh at someone’s obvious and relentless failings? EULOGY By Rob Drummond TUE 24 – SAT 28 APR, 1PM; FRI 27 APR, 7PM Six years ago Sandy ruined his daughter’s wedding day with a Top Table speech for the ages. Well, the joke’s on him, because now, he’s dead. You are cordially invited to Sandy’s memorial service, where his life will be eulogised. Be prepared to laugh, cry and sing your hearts out as we send Sandy off to the hereafter. Let’s hope everything goes smoothly this time round. RACHEL’S COUSINS By Ann Marie di Mambro TUE 10 – SAT 14 APR, 1PM; FRI 13 APR, 7PM Rachel is a successful woman and, frankly, a bit of a snob. She wants nothing to do with her mother’s side of the family, whom she thinks of as a reckless bunch of benefit cheats. But when Rachel discovers she is at risk of breast cancer, she feels duty bound to let her cousins know. She didn’t mean to let them into her life but they come barging in anyway, and shake up her tidy life. MARGARET SAVES SCOTLAND By Val McDermid TUE 17 – SAT 21 APR, 1PM; FRI 20 APR, 7PM Margaret Holt embarked on a holiday romance with a difference and it changed her life. Falling in love with Scotland filled her with a burning desire to liberate the country from the English yoke. But what could a nine-year-old lass from Yorkshire do to make that dream come true? Join Margaret as she embarks on the journey of a lifetime. BUBBLEWRAP By Hilary Lyon TUE 1 – SAT 5 MAY, 1PM; FRI 4 MAY, 7PM It’s one of the ten most stressful things we do apparently, and we do it on average seven times in a lifetime, but moving home is not just about packing and unpacking stuff. Whilst wading through the contents of seemingly endless boxes, Kirsty and Alex unwittingly start to unwrap their lives. Can they withstand the emotional unpacking; and what is lurking in that box marked ‘Pandora’?
